genetic variability of antigen b2 of human, sheep, goats, camel and cattle isolates of echinococcus granulosus in iran.
Authors
abstract
background: antigen b (agb) is frequently used for immuno-diagnosis of hu-man cystic echinococcosis (ce). echinococcus granulosus agbs show a high degree of genetic variability in different hosts or in different ce endemic areas. the present study aimed to evaluate the genetic polymorphisms of encoding antigen b2 gene (agb2) among different iranian isolates of e. granulosus. methods: a total of 50 ce isolates were collected from human, sheep, cattle, goat and camels, 10 isolates from each intermediate host of e. granulosus . total genomic dna from either protoscolices or germinal layer was extracted from each cyst and pcr-rflp followed by dna sequencing was used to evaluate sequence variation and polymorphism of agb2 in the isolates. results: after the pcr amplification, using agb2 primers, an almost 400 bp band was amplified in all of the isolates. the pcr products were digested with alu1 re-striction endonuclease. after restriction enzyme digestion with alu1‚ sheep and human isolates gave a similar pattern of rflp with the gene size of approximately 140 and 240bp and camel and goat isolates gave a similar pattern, but different from sheep and human, with the gene size of approximately 150 and 250bp. se-quence analysis showed the most genetic similarity of agb2 between human and sheep isolates. conclusion: findings of this study revealed the differences in the sequences of agb2 within and between the iranian isolates of e. granulosus . these differences may affect the performance of any diagnostic test which uses agb.

Background: Cystic echinococcosis (CE), known as hydatid cyst, is a zoonotic parasitic infection caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus (E. granulosus). Antigen B, the major component of hydatid cyst fluid, is encoded by members of a multigene family. The present study aimed to evaluate the genetic diversity of the gene encoding antigen B8/1 (EgAgB8/1) among the main intermediate...

Echinococcosis caused by the larval form of Echinococcus granulosus (E. granulosus) is known as an important zoonotic disease in various parts of the world, including Iran. The genetic diversity of this parasite is very high, particularly in areas where the disease is endemic. It has been suggested in the literature from different parts of the world that diverse facto...

Molecular Characterization of Echinococcus granulosus Isolated from Sheep and Camel in Iran
SUmmJlry Forty-eight isolates of hydatid cyst collected from sheep and camels slaughtered in different areas of Iran were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism techniques. The results indicated that the isolates could be categorized into two distinct and uniform genotype grouping, the camel/dog strain,group (Genotype 6) and cosmopolitan common sheep ...
